The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes

Fifty years after the death of Dr Watson (Blakely), a safety deposit box containing his private papers is finally unlocked. Amongst the deerstalking caps, pipes and hypodermic syringes lies an unpublished account of the real Sherlock Holmes (Stephens) and the one case that he didn't manage to solve successfully.

Galvanised into action when a mysterious Belgian woman arrives on their doorstep after taking an unwelcome dip in the River Thames, Holmes and Watson find themselves embroiled in a case that involves everything from the Loch Ness monster to circus midgets, a group of Trappist monks and Queen Victoria.
